Haha we all know that, but c'mon ... let the guy have his nightly fix. We've all been flashaholics at one point. ;)

All that placebos gonna make him sick.
[EVO 4G General] jxr94:
Lol this had me laughing for about a minute straight.
[EVO 4G General] ridleyj329:
i know you have to do a full wipe when going from a nightly to a stable.... but does it make a difference if you flash a nightly post stable release? i dont think it does but i just want be sure.
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
usually, you will lose your theme if you do that; if you arent themed, then you will just have to reset any screen customizations and things like that..

So, do we know for sure there are no changes from the stable release through #194?

thanks
[EVO 4G General] kevinbear:
Can anyone assist me with investigating this issue? Most of the time I'm getting outstanding battery life (70% left after 7-8 hours in one case), but then something will start to drain the battery quickly (in that same instance, down to 28% after another hour and a half). Android system shows at times nearly 100% under Partial Wake Lock in Spare Parts and I get 100% Running as well.

htop typically reveals system_server as a likely culprit. Attempted to use strace to investigate, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for or how to read the results. The strace resulted in a SIGSEGV (Segmentation Fault) that killed strace (I'm assuming that) and put my Evo back into the CM6 Boot Animation screen where it got stuck for 10 minutes before I sent an "adb reboot".

Would love to figure out this rare and camera-shy issue.
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
I've got a similar problem.. tried everything u have n more..I threw in the towel..what bothers me is it takes 15-20min to charge from 90 to 100 but about 3 min to drop back to 90 with phone awake
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
Haha ..wait a min..I thought u said that cyanogen put working wimax in that build before I flashed?
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
Me personally..I would clear cache and dalvik..then flash ..and don't worry about doing it 3x ..that's just for ppl who like reassurence..*scans room*cough*
[EVO 4G General] dkotoric:
Hey guys I just had my evo replaced and they gave me a brand new Hardware version 4 phone and I have CyanogenMod running but like stated before the camera does not work. Does anyone have a fix to make the camera work.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[EVO 4G General] :
I am assuming that there is going to be no changes with the nightlys until cm7
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
why would you assume that?
[EVO 4G General] pastert33:
The only fix for this is to flash a sense ROM and run it with the latest HTC kernel. Once the source is released for that kernel, I'm sure a fix will be made into CM.
[EVO 4G General] :
I am just guessing... there hasn't been any changes so I am just assuming that they are working on that. Cyan said that they pushed out the final because of GB being released. I am sure it won't be too much longer we will be flashing cm7 nightlys
[EVO 4G General] dkotoric:
Alright thanks
[EVO 4G General] thanatos_evo:
No CM7 till they release the source for GB. Recommend not asking for ETAs (rule 1?)
[EVO 4G General] ridleyj329:
thanks. i do that anytime i flash anyway. im running a pre 6.1 stable rom and i just wanted to make sure i just flash over it with a post 6.1 nightly without any hicups. im too lazy to do it but i might just wipe anyway just to be safe.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
actually, during testing for snap turbo, we did notice that /system wasn't always fully wiped with one wipe. i don't remember why it happened, but doing at least 2x wipes seemed to have alleviated the issues.

just an experience.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
Nobody knows when gb is coming except google so there is no one to ask. When source is released it wont take long before nightlys are out. With current nightlys the only reason to flash would be if there is a new feature introduced and there have been none for froyo or supersonic. N1 will actually be trying kernal .36 in there nightlys starting today. Toastcfh is working on 4G so don't expect a .36 kernal for supersonic anytime soon.
[EVO 4G General] :
Agree 100%. Until there is a change no reason to flash.
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
That wont stop dozens of N00Bs from asking that exact question here 100's of times in the next 30 days...
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
sooo...

i've been out of the loop lately, anyone know if gingerbread was released?

...:p
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
I think someone said it was being released on their birthday, dec 21st
[EVO 4G General] paranoid android85:
yea, yesterday. i already have it on my phone along with 4g! so flippin awsome

LMFAO!!! :D

haha damn, i'm always late to the party.

Supersonic is using the unified kernel now, so hopefully it won't take too long to port the new kernel using the work already done on 2.6.35.

What's wrong with the gingerbread theme from the OP? Im using it on nightly 194 with no problem.

Also, anyone else having issues with the clock? Yesterday and this morning my time is off. Yesterday it was a few minutes, but enough that I missed my bus to work. This morning its about a good 10 minutes off. After I finish my morning downloads im hoping a reboot will fix it.

EDIT: a reboot fixed it, but im not allowed to use my phone at work so I wont be able to monitor the issue.

Any new stuff in 195? or are they all the same since 187 ?
[EVO 4G General] paranoid android85:
the last nightlys have been the same. i think the last thing they added was new wallpaper, but i forgot which nightly that was on
[EVO 4G General] david279:
The Last nightly with any changes was the one on the same day as the release of 6.1. So all of the nightly are basically 6.1 right now.

Missing Contact and Calendar Sync?

Don't know where to post this. I was having battery issues, running CM 6.1 stable. I did a fresh wipe, installed CM 6.1 stable, and restored my apps from Titanium Backup Pro. Everything works fine, except that my phone is missing "Contacts" and "Calendar" from my sync settings. Also, i do not have "calendar sync adapter" and "contacts sync adapter" listed under my applications. I tried restoring them using Titanium but it didn't work. Can anyone help?

Edit: have installed GAPPS also.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Um I don't use titanium backup with a cm rom. CM automagically installs my apps for me. If you do use it though just restore the app not the data. Restoring data seems to create problems.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
I use tb to restore apps no problem. No way in hell im starting homerun battle 3d or angry birds from the beginning just because I wanted a fresh install.
[EVO 4G General] gswarriorfan:
I forgot to backup my angry birds before I wiped for 6.1 final. Now I have to go through it all over again... Is the only way to save the game with titanium backup?
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
Did you do a backup of the whole rom, in recovery?
[EVO 4G General] paranoid android85:
i notice that not all the apps i have get installed. i usually run titanium to restore the missing apps
[EVO 4G General] thunderchicken02:
Restored my backup before the wipe. Still don't know what caused my contacts/calendar to disappear from the sync menu..weird.
[EVO 4G General] gswarriorfan:
I did a whole rom backup in recovery, but I was using Fresh rom before coming over to cyanogen.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
If you did a whole rom backup then restore that rom and use titanium backup on angry birds. Then restore cm and use titanium backup to restore angry birds
[EVO 4G General] azfxstb:
The battery issue is a wake lock issue with android system and the other issue with "6.1 stable" is the wifi sleep issue. I have yet to see any official reply from the CM camp. I can't tell you how many wipes and flashes I have done in hopes that it will go away. I have settled on 6.1 rc1 it works well for me. The difference is the kernel.
[EVO 4G General] pastert33:
He's prob not said anything about this problem BC as sure as you are that its a problem, is as sure as I am I don't. My battery life is great.
[EVO 4G General] azfxstb:
I can repro it 100% of the time with anything past RC2 it happens from using the phone as a phone if you just text and use data a lot you won't see it. The wifi issue is well know and the WORKAROUND not fix is to set it to not sleep. I have seen it on all 3 evos I have tested see the problem they are all hardware V 003. I know it's a problem. My guess is that there is a new kernel being worked on that will resolve it that's why we are not hearing about it. It is what it is I still run CM6.1 and I will but I'm nobodies cheerleader.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Like I said, people said the same thing when some of us had charging issues... The battery life is great, but, there is a random wake lock with android system for some of us on this rom. Its easily fixed with a reboot if I catch it before it murders my battery.

Some people need to relax and stop taking it as a personal attack just because they aren't having the wake lock.... If you aren't, then good for you... Some of us are and the fact that you don't think its a rom issue doesn't matter since you have absolutely nothing to do with creating it.

Thanks for your input tho, as useless as it was
[EVO 4G General] thunderchicken02:
I agree. My battery drops for no reason even while I'm not using it. My usage hasn't changed since rc1 but my battery life is much worse. I wish someone would acknowledge the issue..
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
CM has said something about it and says it's something wrong on the end users install either with account syncing or another app. He gave people commands to run to find out which app was causing it and as far as I have seen noone has done this.

I had wakelock issues too after RC2, and have gotten rid of them completely and I didn't even have to completely wipe. It has to be an app that 's doing it, or a bad account sync. It's been mentioned by others that they had to go disable all their google account syncing clear data on gmail, contacts and calendar restart then re enable account syncing.

If you have done the steps that CM had mentioned in this very long thread and can show that your wake lock is being caused by something done by the CM team then you would be in the right, but as I said noone so far has actually run the commands to show what has been causing the wake locks on their system. Many apps that aren't actual Android System apps can cause a wakelock and it'll file under Android System because it uses a part of the system to do it's work.
[EVO 4G General] timothydoanpham:
from what i read the wake lock has to do with android system but my problem is slightly different or at least i think it is. my phone drops battery consistently and my main thing at the top is cell standby. honestly i don't know what the average user is getting for battery life but for me i'm at 6 hours 41 minutes and down to 58 percent battery life i'm currently running BC Blend RC2 with setcpu on smartass min at 348 and high at 1113. the only profiles i have running is screen off at 384 max and min and charging/full at 1113 384.

now i do have autokiller memory optimizer running. i heard that could save battery life but who knows it worked well when i was using myn's release 4 so i saw no harm running it with CM.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Its caused by this rom, doesn't matter to me if you believe it or not.

Nobody is insulting your heros rom here, we all live it. It just has a minor issue.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Man why'd they put thank next to quote :D. Anyway noone is my hero. I love what the CM team is doing, and yes they are human and capable of making mistakes. My problem is that people who don't know anything about code are blaming the rom outright when the man himself showed people what tools to use to see where the problem is. If these tools proved a problem with the rom then he would have information on how to fix it. So far noone has done that. I had the wakelock issue myself. I can get a sense rom to get stuck in 100% wakelock too. The great thing about Android is also one of it's problems. Since the market really isn't policed there can be apps that hook into parts of Android that they're not supposed to (even Adobe did this with flash a while back) and they can mess with a good rom because they are keeping the system from operating the way it was intended.

So please just run those commands that were asked show us what's causing the wakelocks so we can come to a solution.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Lol, I did see some of what he asked, problem is I'm rarely at a computer... But when I get time I'll tt to give it a go

Look, I'm not taking anything personal. Let's just say 10 ppl have this "problem", out of how many ppl using this ROM?? So is it easier to call this a problem or just something a few ppl have??

[EVO 4G General] tranquilchaos:
If you're evo isn't recognizing the usb cable as far asking to connect to your computer, what can cause that?

When I connect it, it just charges, it all of a sudden quit prompting to connect to usb.

I know this has something to do with the sd card as I replaced one earlier today and it fixed the issue.

Any suggestions? I've tried to format/repartition the sd card but it won't access the part being used on CM6 apps to sd. It creates an error when trying to erase on disk utility.

edit: this has happened 2x in one day on 2 separate sd cards....I'm running CM6, downgraded to 8/10 as I thought 8/11 was the problem. Obviously it's not.

PLEEEEEZE HELPPPP
[EVO 4G General] BigRick10:
Maybe he releases RC2!!

[EVO 4G General] lafrad:
Need.... new.... nightly....................
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
Mine does this sometimes, I will plug it in and a few seconds later it's as if I unplugged it, but I didn't. I figured it out though, it has to do with the power coming from your usb plug on the computer. Try connecting through an AC powered usb hub.
[EVO 4G General] tranquilchaos:
It's been working all the time though...it only quit prompting me after I rebooted this morning...then none of apps on my sd were available, that's when I plugged in to check it out and it wouldn't recognize it (only charge). Now I'm running into the exact same problem again as this morning...it's not to do the power of the port unfortunately, I WISH IT DID.
[EVO 4G General] tranquilchaos:
Let me ask you this.....it corrected itself after I swapped out sd cards earlier today. I don't want to have to keep swapping out sd cards....let me explain...

When I used to have my G1, I'd constantly have to wipe/erase/repartition my sd cards...however, it appears that CM6 on the evo uses different methods than back in the day....I don't see where the files are being installed on the sd card. On my mac, when I plug in the sd card to a reader, the main partition is fully readable but I can't see the little part containing all the apps....so what I'm asking is how can I reformat this card (the entire card including where the apps are).

When I attempt to do this using disk utility, it's only partitioning or erasing the main part, not where all the apps are.

Sorry if this question sounds newbyish but I'm super frustrated and don't want to reboot my phone until I have an answer...lol
[EVO 4G General] nicholaaaas:
what files are you talking about?
[EVO 4G General] xcopmanx2:
Can you just go to wipe and then sd:ext or whatever it is in recovery to do this?
[EVO 4G General] Aerodynamix:
Well I gotta be honest. Personally, i AM having the problem he's talking about. Typically, I just keep my mouth shut because I think it's redundant for me to say "YEAH THE EXACT SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO ME." So I'm just saying, don't discredit a problem just because a lot of people aren't reporting it, I'm sure some people just don't want to post it over and over again.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
What's weird is nobody has stated that it doesn't happen on sense roms. With exact same apps cm out last sense roms. Many of us feel that same wake issue will happen on a sense rom as well, therefore its not the rom. Do you guys try it with the same apps installed on another rom? I too can create 100% wakelock on a sense rom.
[EVO 4G General] Aerodynamix:
That's a good point. I just can't ever stand a sense ROM long enough to find out. ^_^ I don't think in any position to say whether or not this is or isn't a ROM-based problem, I was just adding that I am able to reproduce this.
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
I guess too be a cm user you have to bash sense haha, part of the patch in? What Apps are giving wake lock?
[EVO 4G General] Aerodynamix:
It's not so much a CM>Sense thing as much as I feel like Sense is pointless and AOSP>Sense.
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
Purely opinion but back to your initial issues, what apps giving you wake lock since I am on the step child that is sense haha. Besides we all pretty much prefer android as our os of choice which is the important thing
[EVO 4G General] ViViDboarder:
It does not happen to me in my sense rom with the same apps restored via TB.

There.

I solved it before by doing another full wipe and installing all my apps manually (ie, not installing all of them). I've been trying to install apps slowly and was fine until today. I had wake lock again, but it wasn't 100%... Like 97% or something close. So I rebooted and now I'm fine.

One thing I did do before rebooting was disable my daily alarm... don't know if that's relevant, but I'm putting it out there in case everyone has an A-ha! moment.

I will keep reporting back as I get more and more of my apps installed. :D
[EVO 4G General] Aerodynamix:
Haha granted, I was just saying that's how I feel about it. And "Android System" is what's giving me wakelock. I ran HTOP and it showed system_server as using a decent percent of CPU, but I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do with strace. Basically, the issue manifests itself in showing Android System as using 50%+ of your battery in battery usage.
[EVO 4G General] Aerodynamix:
Interesting. I'll try the alarm thing and double wipe like Shift mentioned a few pages back. See if that helps anything.
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
Hmmmm assuming you loaded spare parts, system panel etc? You try loading up yiur. ROM and not installing apps? I also have wiped caches on occasion to see if it helps also, but I based that on nothing haha

Edit: what about setcpu?
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
I don't care you find my post or other posts about the wake lock useless lol... You obviously aren't able to help so who cares.

There are more than ten people with this issue and to them it is a problem...so yea I call it what it is.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Oh, I ran this rom with nothing other than gapps installed.. Don't use things like wi-fi or bluetooth and it still caught an android system wake lock ... Also ran Myns rom for a while and did everything I could to reproduce it and wasn't able to.

Ran my old nand of RC1 and didn't get the lock either. Its very bizarre but it's not that big a deal, a reboot fixes it.

I also double and triple wiped ..
[EVO 4G General] Aerodynamix:
Uhh...well to be honest, I'm not sure what would be helpful to load in spare parts, or what to look at in system panel. Also not sure what yiur is. Excuse my noob.

And I AM running setCPU, do you think that could be responsible?
[EVO 4G General] LifeInTheGrey:
Damn this thanks button! That's like the fourth time I hit it on accident ...

I think the yiur thing was a typo, meant to be "your", as in "your ROM". In spare parts, check battery usage, partial wake usage. In system panel, check what bar lights up the bluest under battery.
